"The current situation in Russia is unusual. This is the first time in a long while we have seen so many public protests. Demonstrations against the policies of the tandem currently ruling Russia are taking place in many cities, and are voluntary and spontaneous, in contrast to those organised by the party apparatus. This points to the formation of a civil society. The authorities’ reaction has nothing to do with respect for human rights, or even respect for the constitution of the Russian Federation.
I would like to express my support for this resolution, because in spite of its efforts to achieve good political and economic relations with this country, the European Union cannot aim for this at any price. As the guardian of the most stringent values in the international arena, it must be bold in lending prominence to its position."@en1
